NACE 34105-2005

The purpose of this technical committee report is to
increase awareness of the problem of nonextractable
chlorides on refinery equipment and to document the
lessons learned to date. Because information is still being
developed by the industry, it is not possible to provide
detailed descriptions of all "phantom chloride" sources or
definitive solutions to prevent all potential problems. This
report lists sources determined to date, includes details on
test methods to measure the levels of chlorides, and lists
solutions various refiners have used for their specific
conditions.
